O Lord our God, arise, Chastise thy enemies Thy saints who slay. Death, which to heathen men Is full of grief and pain, To all who in heaven shall reign With thee is dear. They through the gloomy vale Walk firm, and do not quail, To rest with thee. Such death is happiness, Leading to that glad place Where in eternal bliss Thy sons abide. Stretch out thy hand, O Lord, Help those who trust thy Word, And give for sole reward This death of joy. O Lord our God, arise, Chastise thy enemies Thy saints who slay.[123] This little poem by the Queen of Navarre, which contains several other verses, was the martyrs' hymn in the sixteenth century. Nothing shows more clearly that she was heart and soul with the evangelicals. Terror reigned among the reformed christians for some time after Berquin's martyrdom. They endured reproach, without putting themselves forward; they did not wish to irritate their enemies, and many of them retired to _the desert_, that is, to some unknown hiding-place. It was during this period of sorrow and alarm, when the adversaries imagined that by getting rid of Berquin they had got rid of the Reformation as well, and when the remains of the noble martyr were hardly scattered to the winds of heaven, that Calvin once more took up his abode in Paris, not far from the spot where his friend had been burnt. Rome thought she had put the reformer to death; but he was about to rise again from his ashes, more spiritual, more clear, and more powerful, to labour at the renovation of society and the salvation of mankind.
